A new video teasing the fourth series of Game of Thrones has been unveiled by HBO.

HBO uploaded the intriguing clip to Instagram ahead of their special 15-minute ‘foreshadowing’ programme which airs February 9 in the US.

The video preview gives GoT fans a quick look behind the scenes from the new series, and features Joffrey’s wedding, Daenerys’ continued amassing of power, Bran getting in touch with his warg side and a better look at Sansa Stark, who only featured fleetingly in the full series four trailer.

In a statement HBO described the special, called Ice and Fire: A Foreshadowing, as follows: ‘A look back and a look forward to the fourth season of the hit HBO series, the show features clips from upcoming episode, behind-the-scenes footage, interviews with talent, and cast members’ answers to questions posed by fans.’

Game of Thrones returns to Sky Atlantic on April 7 with a host of new faces including Sherlock star Mark Gatiss, who will play Tycho Nestoris from the Iron Bank of Bravos, Joel Fry as Hizdahr zo Loraq, Roger Ashton-Griffiths as Mace Tyrell, Indira Varma as Ellaria Sand and Pedro Pascal, who will play The Red Viper.
